Artist/Band: Mary J. Blige
Lyrics for Song: Father in you
Lyrics for Album: The Breakthrough [2005]



Oooh-oooh-oooh

Oooooooooh

Ooooooh



Can I talk to you, baby

When I was a little girl

I didn't have a father

And that's why I'm leaning on you

When I was a baby

I didn't get a hug from daddy

That's why I need a hug from you



Oh It's not easy

And I thank you for putting up with me

When you don't have a guy's love

To say that you (to say that I am your little girl)

Are his little girl (Oh why didn't you love me?)

And give you the love ( I need love yeah yeah yeaah yeah)

You really deserve ( and I believe I deserve and that's why)

That's why I need the father in you (I need the father in you baby)

That's why I need (please don't hurt me please)

The father in you (ooh)

That's why I need (Oh that's why )

The father in you (really need you )

That's why I need (please be true)

The father in you

Oooh



Things got bad

To the point when mommy couldn't hold us down

And that's when it hurt me so much to se her (to see her cry)

Oh don't cry, mama, don't cry mama

We're gonna be alright, that's what I used say

(I said that some day) that I would try to take his place

But it was too hard It was so hard trying be a man and not a woman

and that's why I need a father

That's I need (oh I need)

The father in you (I'm puttin' my trust in you)

That's why I need (please don't let me down)

The father in you (oooh)

That's why I need (oooh I, I, I)

The father in you ( I need the father in you)

That's why I need( Hold my hand, oh yeah)

The father in you (oooh)



Because we never had one at home

No no no no

As a little girl

Still I understand, why daddy couldn't be there

Cuz it's so obvious nobody taught him how to be a father

Oh, and I'm not saying this to reminisce on the past

I'm just saying this to make you understand that I needed a father

And this is my problem this is why I couldn't keep no one

This is why I couldn't stay alone

I was so scared alone

Every woman needs a man

and I don't think she understands

That she really needs a father

The father in you my brother

Ooooh

She really needed a father

The father in you

When your wife is speaking fellas, pay attention

Yeah, don't ignore her, no no no

Ooooh

I really need the father in you
